Location: Kentucky | Curious to see if anyone was having issues with Triple Crown Senior feed? More specifically with sulfur levels. I am in contact with two other ladies that have been going through colic and diarrhea episodes with their horses that are on TC Senior. I've had a sample tested which came back with high levels of sulfur. I am in contact with a TC rep now. |

| I think Nevertoold had talked about this issue a few weeks ago? Might try PMing her and asking if she knows anything. Rachnelly is also one to reach out to and ask if you haven't yet. |

Yep, I hit up both of them yesterday. They have been valuable assets and a wealth of knowledge! |

| I dont know about sulfer levels but I USED to love TC senior. Fed it to everything. Then I started getting loads of corn and other remnants in my feed. FOund out the mill that makes it out here makes all kinds of medicated cattle feed to. SO I'm done with TC. |

That is interesting to know. My one horse has been having diarreah on and off.......... I need to go get feed, guess I will be switching him. My old horse hasn't had issues. |

I used TC for years also but started looking into it when the issue with medicated feed issues. My mare was expericing chronic colic and diarrhea, and as soon as I stopped the TC Senior, her issues stopped also. I found out a few other folks were having the same issue as me. |

| Didn't experience any health issues with the TC sr. But I noticed the inconsistent bags and started finding a lot of whole corn. That was enough for me to switch. |

Location: Kentucky | The only time I got a bad bag was when my feed store wasn't rotating. I've never experienced a lot of corn. The feed, visibly, always looked in good condition.

| TC used to Mill their own feed. Now Nutrena does it for them. I honestly believe the quality of TC is dependent on the mill its made at. Mine is made in central california and AZ. |

Location: East Texas | When I contacted them about my issues, the rep came out and then lied about having the feed tested. He told us the results came back fine. i called and asked for a copy to compare with mine and they were looking into it. I just now got a report back that said he didtnt test it he told the company it looked fine and he fed it to his horses!! The guy also told me it wasnt the feed that made my horse sick, it must have been my hay or water. Even though there are 10 other horses on the place and this one was the only one changed over to triple crown and became sick about 2 months of being on the feed due to the high sulfur levels that build up in his system. I have lots of documentation from vets and osu stating the cause of the sickness and I hope they make it right! |

Yep...That is the one that mine came from and they have quit using that mill and they then brought in TC Sr from all over. I have looked at tags at the 2 feed stores I use and one came from BY (Byhalia, MS) and CG (Casa Grande, AZ). |

I'm awaiting some push back from TC, but I'm ready for it. There is an issue when multiple horses are getting sick off the product. |

He had a winter blanket on and I was shocked when I took it off as to how much weight he had lost. I knew his problem had to be feed related but that was the last thing I changed as I had faith in this feed. Not anymore. They replaced the bag and I fed it to the deer and they ended up having very loose stools.
